" "Are designations congruent with things? Is language the adequate expression of all realities? It is only by means of forgetfulness that man can ever reach the point of fancying himself to possess a "truth" of the grade just indicated. If he will not be satisfied with truth in the form of tautology, that is to say, if he will not be content with empty husks, then he will always exchange truths for illusions.

Additional quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Wisdom — seems to the rabble a kind of escape, a means and a trick for getting well out of a wicked game.
